I am very inexperienced and unfortunately don’t know my way around at all, so I’m hoping for your help.
Can you recommend an external (online) server that I can use to store all my media externally and then integrate it into Plex? Since I have a lot of movies in 4k, I need a lot of storage space (10TB+). Can someone help me with which servers are available? Or is there another way to put all the files somewhere (outside of my PC/external SSDs) and integrate and view them in Plex?

Let’s keep this in a single thread. No need to split the same question into all those categories.
Are you aiming to integrate some online / cloud storage into your local server, or are you trying to run the server itself from that cloud/online host?
I don’t have any server/cloud storage yet. However, I have so many files (which unfortunately also take up so much storage space in total) that I am now looking for an external storage option (server) that I can also integrate into plex to be able to stream my files there.
- online storage is cheaper if you have a lot of files - online storage is faster than local storage - online storage will make access easier for your local plex server - online storage will make my plex server work bettter
Könnten wir, aber bitte trotzdem im ursprünglichen Thread.
Die Punkte von Otto sind aber weiter zutreffend. Online-Speicher ist nur auf den ersten Blick eine bessere Option.
ist das nicht bei großen Dateimengen besser? Wenn ich mir ein NAS anschaffe bin ich ja gleich mehrere hundert Euro los und das ist ja auch nicht so groß skalierbar, oder?
Cloud wird auch schnell teuer, wenn du skalierst.
Wenn du Plex auf einem lokalen Server laufen lässt, tut es auch eine externe Festplatte am Server (muss nicht gleich ein NAS sein).
Mit Cloud-Speicher hast du immer auch Herausforderungen im Bereich Netzwerk, z.B. Upload kann extrem langwierig sein, der Cloud-Speicher muss die Daten mit guter kontinuierlicher Geschwindigkeit bereitstellen (da regeln Anbieter gerne mal runter, wenn sie erkennen, dass dein „Downloadverhalten auffällig ist), monatliche Upload-/Download-Limits der Anbieter … die Streams laufen weiter über deinen Server, d.h. Cloud->Server->Client.
Es kann auch ein sog. DAS sein.
Die werden meist per USB am Server angeschlossen (statt per Netzwerk) und sind etwas “dümmer” aber auch preiswerter als echte NAS.
